Hi there,
in order to use iCloud you need iOS 5 or newer on your iPhone. Unfortunately the iPhone 3G is not compatible with anything newer than iOS 4.2.x, so iCloud is not available for your iPhone.
You can however backup your phone using iTunes (store the backup on your computer instead of within Apple's cloud service.
Hope this helps,
Chris
Just a follow up to this topic, iOS 6.1 which came out January 2013 is now compatible on iPhone 3GS and you can backup to iCloud with it.
3GS was always compatible with the latest iOS version. The OP talking about 3G, not 3GS.
